So he sure and dust your tomat- oes every tan days from the time the first cluster of fruits is half devel- oped, USI: fermate, or a mixed dust containing fermate - alternating with a fixed copper dust. Both these are available under different trade names, The fermate controls the an- thacnosc disease which causes the rotting of tomatoes after and some- times even before picking. The cop- per dust controls leaf diseases. * * * Too drastic pruning of hedges during very hot weather may re- sult in sunscalding of the leaves and twigs too suddenly exposed. This is especially dangerous for evergreen hedges or trees. How- ever, summer pruning will save you a lot of trouble with overgrown vines and shrubs, such .as silver - lace vine, spiraea forsythia, grapes, Japanese yew and so forth. Branch- es of trees that are hanging too low may also be cut off. When Russell lupins were first introduced in England some tep years or so ago they created quite a stir; and those who have been suc- cessful with them on this side of the water are equally enthusiastic. Even in seasons when other flow- ers look weary and beaten, these perennials manage to retain crisp, colorful flowers growing on straight sturdy branches. Some gardeners still claim that lupins will not do well in areas where midsummer heat is severe or that they must have a particular sort of alkaline soil. But folks who have tried them have grown then[ successful'y in different sec- tions all the Way from the Atlantic to the Pacific -se even if you have doubts about your chances with them, .a few seeds are well worth risking. • * • .August is a good time to sow the lupin seeds, which should be soaked in lukewarm r m water overnight in order to lessen their hard outer coals. If your soil is inclined to acidity, it might be .a good idea to dig a trowelful of line into the ground where they are to go. Seeds can then be scattered lightly over the surface and covered with soil. Once you have had success with Russell lupins, and enjoyed their striking color and design, you will never want your garden to be with- out then[; and in spite of a reputa- tion -possibly unearned -for being tricky and difficult, it has been proved that they will thrive in lo- cations which, a few years ago, would have been considered out of the question. The ivory -billed woodpecker is fast becoming extinct in the United Slates, while the pileated wood- pecker is -close on -its heels.

Gooseberry Fool The dictionary defines a "fool" (in the culinary world) as "dish of crush- ed fruit with whipped cream and sugar." Theoretically, this is true ,hut the famous gooseberry fool of old England is more complicated -than that -and the best known "fool" of Mem all. Top and stem a quart of really ripe gooseberries and stew them in water with just a little sugar until tender Press them through a colander to remove tough skins. To the fruit add a tablespoon of butteh, a cup of sugar, just a whiff of salt and 4 well -beaten egg yolks. Pour all this into a glass howl. Beat the egg whites stiff and add 2 table- spoons powdered sugar to them. Then heap this lightly on top of the fruit mixture. Serve very cold, with no additional sauce.

Press the Button You would not expect anything in a British hotel could surprise Con- rad N. Hilton, Because Mr. Hilton is President of the largest chain of hotels in the United States, includ- ing the 0,000 -room Stevens In Chi. °ago. But up in his River Suite at the Savoy, where he, is now etayigg, C Hilton hqa been impressed by "those cute tittle buttons" which bring a waiter, a maid of a valet to your room in a matter of seconds. Even in the Stevens he would have to telephone "room, service," a8d then perhaps wait for as many minutes. n 14� NIC GwQ.ve-do?.it.e P. Cld„i1,tie This morning, when I first awak- ened, the air was delightfully fresh and cool, and through the span windows and doors, wafted along by a light breeze, cane the first sweet smell of new utowm hay, '!'here is nothing quite like it. (lay that has been cut two or three days and properly cured has a dif- ferent smell -hot and dry, it you know what 1 mean. 1 can quite un- derstand what it world du to hay fever victims. Sometimes 1 wonder, apart from the smell, why it is that haymaking always appeals to the imagination of those who think wistfully of holidaying on a farm. Apparently it has sonne sort of romantic appeal. Children will stay around all clay in a hot, shadeless field while load af- ter load is being built, and for the sole purpose of riding home on top of each load as it comes to the barn. Men, wlio hardly know a pitchfork from a table fork are yet willing to "lend a hand with the hay". For a man to stay on a farm and afterwards confess he didn't assist with the haying is about on a par with an angler com- ing hone without going fishing. 1 don't know about women farm visi- tors ... I guess most of them are content with the smell of the hay, and the fact of being where it is, * * * And what does haying mean to the farm people themselves? For the men it is a period of hard, hot work, nervous strain and a stern game of guessing -guessing what the weather will be forty-eight hours from the time of cutting; try- ing to figure out whether it would be better to coil the hay, or to rush things, loading straight from the swath to the wagon and thus cheat that threatening storm. Or would it be wise to invest in a hay loader, a buckrake or a bailing machine? And the women ... ab yes, the womenl How they wish that haying did not coincide with canning and berry picking time. Maybe a crate of berries waits to be canned but there are also horses to drive on the hayfork -and the wagon has a way of corning in just as the fruit is ready for the jars. And oh my, it's hot, dusty world The rope drags along the ground and by the time the load is off the farmer's wife - or daughter, as the case may be, feels more like taking a bath than going on with her canning, Except that there is never time ... taking a bath between loads might lead to an embarrassing situation. But going out to the field with the wag- on -now that's something else again. Don't ever be sorry for any woman you see out on a hay wagon -not if she has a working partner who doesn't rush things. Building a load doesn't require a lot of strength; it is knowing how to place each forkful as it comes that does the trick. And as the load gets high- er and the wind blows through your hair, for some unknown reason a sense of satisfaction possesses you and you feel, not only on top of the load but on top of the world. But hang on to that fork -brace yourself against any sudden move- ment of the wagon or the chances are you will be out of this world in a hurry, Regretfully •I realize my wagon days are over. Not but what I could still build a load -the trouble would be getting off it, Really Crowded Eddie Cantor claims that once he went to Washington and found things so crowded that it was only with the greatest difficulty that he managed to get a room in a hotel. He was just sinking off to sleep when suddenly he heard snoring coming from the bathroom. He hurriedly investigated, then rushed to the telephone, "Good Heavens," he yelled, "there's a midget up here snoring in my bathtub!" "Just one?" replied the room clerk calmly. "The little rascal must have pulled out the plug. There's supposed to be tido of them," '1k 1rou kNow T7hATISN'T ,t;.NOUG*1 4YATE,R FORM Ib13AWtYIN...GO Th Gar `.
